The 2 most common reasons:


1). The Model of iPhone 16 that you have does not support eSIM


2). Your carrier does not support eSIM


So, let' start with 1) above to check that way. Tap Settings > General > About. Now tap directly on the actual Model Number that you see and another 5 character number will appear. Example......A3084, or A3297, etc.

Post back with the exact Axxxx number that you see


Next, where do you live? Does your carrier support eSIM?
